Solution
The Gram Sabha is an important element in the proper functioning of the Panchayati Raj system. The members of the Gram Sabha, by raising and resolving issues placed before the Panchayat, can enable the Panchayat members to play their roles and be responsible to the people who elected them. The Gram Sabha is the place where all the plans for the work of the Gram Panchayat are placed before the people. The Gram Sabha prevents the Panchayat members from doing wrong things like misusing money or favouring certain people. It holds the members of the Panchayat accountable for everything they do or don’t do.
Yes, all adults who live in the area covered by a Panchayat should attend the Gram Sabha meetings. Anyone who is 18 years old or more, and who has the right to vote is a member of the Gram Sabha. For the democratic functioning of a Gram Panchayat, all the members of the Gram Sabha should not only take part in electing the Panchs but also ensure that they work properly, by actively participating in the workings of the Panchayat and the Gram Sabha.
